Guess it depends on your situation, I look (thanks to concealer and growning my hair long) like I have a full head of hair so my transition wont be noticable, there is one family member who did make comments about my hair many years ago, I never see him I guess if i do see hime I could make up all sorts of things.

Obviously if you have little hair then suddenly have lots its going to be difficult to explain it so maybe being honest is the best thing to do, but theres others who really dont care what people think and wont tell anyone.

Were all different and theres so many variables its impossible to say what the right approach is because its much more of an individual thing.
